EAMES DEMETRIOS AT MELTDOWN: DISCOVER KYMAERICA Through maps, photos, storytelling and more, artist and filmmaker Eames Demetrios shares with us the history of a land and universe that co-exist alongside our own: that of a world called Kymaerica. What is Kymaerica, you may wonder? Demetrios explains: “Kymaerica is a land (and some waters) somewhat co-existent with our linear world and a general landscape quite similar to large parts of what we would call North America. There are about 80-90 districts, containing over 4000 gwomes. A gwome is cognate word meaning ‘footprint of (the) nation.’ Usually it refers to a nation (so the terms are often used interchangeably), but it is actually a term for a physical area within a district which has a unified political structure. Kymaerican influences and stories are everywhere in our linear world and likely vice versa. But there also many wonders in Kymaerica not easily found here.” Demetrios has spent the last several years documenting Kymaerica’s parallel geography and history and will be sharing his wonderfully strange findings on Sunday, April 30 at Meltdown Comics in Hollywood. The exhibition will include a detailed report on recent Kymaerica installations in Paris and Joshua Tree, as well as historical anecdotes and discussion of various other gwomes throughout Kymaerica. Expect photos, maps, and offbeat revisionist geography galore. In addition to the gallery show, on Friday, May 19, Demetrios will lead a plaque dedication ceremony inducting Meltdown into Kymaerican history.

Rick from Drunken Master here.
Just a reminder, screening this Friday at 8PM for Shinobi. At Meltdown, 7522 Sunset Blvd. We have the movie and beer, bring snacks if you want them.
We're also having a clearance sale in the store. Out with the old, in with the new. 10% off of everything Drunken Master has to offer except DVD players. If you get 6 or more items, it goes to 20% off. And while I'm doing it up Crazy Gideon style, all Tartan U.S. DVD's and Korean TV show box sets will be 20% off no matter what else you buy.
This super duper secret sale is just for the folks on the e-mail list or our Myspace buddies, so let me know when I'm ringing you up about the discount because I won't do it automatically. (And you'll have to know the password and secret handshake too. Just kidding.) It's a 10 day sale that starts Friday and goes until NEXT Sunday, but come in early to get the best stuff. This is just instore only, not web or convention sales.
As far as new stuff, our packages has been hanging out in customs, which is totally awesome as you can imagine. When they finally release them, I should have lots of goodies including Fearless with subs! I'll let everyone know when it's here.
Take care,
Rick
